Unfortunately the time will come to choose between Trey Murphy and Herb Jones due to the cap space situation we have. He will easily get a contract that’s 20 million plus which the pelicans won’t be able to afford here they get a good backup Center and all star potential point guard who fits the timeline a lot better. Also reinforce the bench with DFS.

Pelicans Lineup:

Anfernee Simons Herb Jones Brandon Ingram Zion Williamson Jonas Valanciunas

Jose Alvarado Jordan Hawkins Dyson Daniels Dorian Finney-Smith Robert Williams III

Blazers Lineup:

Scoot Henderson Shaedon Sharpe Draft Pick Trey Murphy III Deandre Ayton

Ben Simmons Draft Pick Toumani Camara Jabari Walker Larry Nance Jr

Dalano Banton Duop Reath Kris Murray Rayan Rupert

Still have the option to trade Mathysse Thybulle and get 7 frps from this trade meaning they have 15 frps from 2025 to 2030 with 6 in 2027!
